Louise Porton is to spend a minimum of 32 years in prison for the murder of both her 17-months-old Scarlett Vaughan and 3-year-old Lexi Draper, following her conviction after a five-week trial at Birmingham Crown Court.

Jurors heard Porton accepted 41 friend requests on a dating app just a day after Lexi died.

Strangely, prosecutors described her as being “calm and emotionless” following Scarlett’s death.
